A health expert, on Saturday, May 21, said that there is no need to close the country’s borders despite the looming threat of monkeypox.

Monkeypox is a viral disease coming from animals. Its symptoms include fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, which may lead to a range of medical complications.

Despite the looming threat that the monkeypox virus brings, National Task Force against Covid-19 special adviser Dr. Teodoro “Ted” Herbosa said that it is unnecessary to close the country’s borders, adding that monkeypox is unlike Covid-19. The expert then reiterated that closing the country’s borders possesses a huge effect to the Philippine tourism, economy, as well as supply and chain of goods and services.

Meanwhile, the expert urged the public to continuously observe minimum public health standards such as, but not limited to, properly wearing of masks, observing physical distancing, as well as practicing personal hygiene.

Sana siya na lang magkasakit

Last time they said there's no need to close our borders, thousands of Filipinos died. Hindi talaga natututo from History noh?

🎶I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending 🎶

Here we go again

Parang mamaso lang ung monkeypox?

Tapos pag nagkakulugo na lahat utang ulit tayo tapos lockdown ulit, tapos dami ulit matetegi tapos syempre sabihan may ayuda another avenue for corruption. Style nyo bulok.

Wala silang interest talaga for preventive measures.. except kung sarili na nilang kamag-anak siguro ang tamaan.
